Two mathematicians met after 27 years in their college.
This was their conversation.
First: How are you doing?
Second: Fine I got married and have 3 daughters.
First: Fine. I also got married 2 years after the college. How old are your daughters?
Second: Well, Product of their ages is 72 and their sum is equal to that house number over there..(It was not mentioned).
First: Wait, I am still counting.
Second: Sorry, youngest of them just started walking.
First: Is it! Youngest of mine is also of the same age.

Need to be positve in life
Life can be a very tricky thing and mine as always is a tricky one.I had talked to many of my friends on various issues and it was then that i realised the need to post such an article; whether many read it or not is not my problem.
As stated earlier life is indeed a test.we go through different challenges in life and it is not a certainty that we overcome all of them.It is even foolish to think so.I had many a troubled times in my life,there were even times when i felt really bad about myself,felt like i am good for nothing.The belief in god did make me realize that life is not always entertaining,there are bad times and good times would soon follow.There would be a purple patch in any body's life.You have to wait for it and it would come for you.
The key area that needs to be addressed is how you can stand tall at times of distress.Always realize that life is a mixture of good and bad times.A diffident guy would always feel that life is so gloomy and so distressing.Think about the good times yet to come and then you would realize that life is indeed colorful.Being a believer i wud suggest that if u turn to God at times of distress and seek his guidance we would be able to overcome our trauma,and start thinking positively.Keeping in view of the atheist's around,i wud suggest if not god they can turn to someone who they trust and tell him to offer help.There need be a guiding force in life and one needs to have someone there(Be it God,Ideologies,or some person,or ur mind) .I have used the word mind,and it is with a purpose.Our mind can be our best companion provided we think positive else it can be really misleading.
So i would suggest that the best thing to do, is that you should not except too much from what you are doing,so that you are not overly disappointed when u cant make it and hence you would not start thinking negatively.You start feeling like you didn't have much hopes so no cause for concern and then you would naturally believe that you can make it next time with some improvements on it.
Since i am not a psychologist or philosopher,i cant really guarantee what i have written is applicable to all.At least it is true with regard to some of friends and myself.

New To The World Of Blogs
I got the inspiration to have my own blog from one of my friends.He requested me to visit his blog and read his latest post.Reluctantly ,though i did visit his blog and was really impressed with his postings.I had a gut feeling then ,that this would indeed be a platform where i can express my thoughts without any inhibition. My areas of interest are politics,philosophy,spirituality,and as always some amount of technology.So in the coming days i hope to incorporate some posts into my blog(time permitting).I am planning to write a book and excerpts from the books will also be posted in this blog.I am so glad that i have a blog and i am grateful to google for starting such a venture(maybe i was late into this world;anyway keep my thanks).
